Abstract
This article reports on a study of the performance by congenitally bli
nd, adventitiously blind, and sighted persons on three types of tasks:
manipulatory, simple locomotion, and complex locomotion. The three gr
oups of subjects tended to perform equivalently, and the results offer
little evidence of a set of spatial processes that rely on past visua
l experience and are applicable to a broad variety of tasks.
